Justin Timberlake is apparently in the running for a part in the big screen version of Baywatch.

A movie adaptation of the hit 90s TV show is in the pipeline and it seems movie bosses think the SexyBack singer would be perfect in the lead male role, reports Twitch.

Justin, 31 - whose film credits include Alpha Dog, The Social Network and Friends With Benefits - would star as a former Olympic swimmer who is hoping to land a spot as a Baywatch lifeguard.

If he does sign up, Justin might even get to share the screen with Baywatch alumni such as Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff, as the movie's writers have apparently suggested there could be roles for the stars.

Justin, who recently got engaged to his actress girlfriend Jessica Biel, will next be seen alongside Clint Eastwood in baseball drama Trouble With The Curve.
